Matthew Poole and continuators on Luke 13:13

13 And he laid his hands on her: and immediately she was made straight, and glorified God.

Tho the Greek be in the Sabbaths, which might signifie any day of the Week, yet it is manifest by what followeth that this Miracle was wrought upon the Seventh day, which was the Jewish Sabbath, else the Ruler of the Synagogue would not have quarrelled with our Saviour about it. What is meant here v. 11. by a Spirit of Infirmity, would not easily be determined, whether only a very great Infirmity, or an Infirmity, in the bringing and continuing of which upon her the Devil had a great instrumentality, but for v. 16. where she is said to be one that Satan had bound, she was a cripple and so bowed down that she could not lift up her self, and thus she had been for eighteen years, so as the distemper was inveterate, and out of the course of ordinary cure. Christ who as to Peoples bodily infirmit[illegible: 1 letter]es, was sometimes found of those that sought him not, seeing her, calleth her to him, and saith, Woman thou art loosed from thy infirmity, He layeth his hands on her, and immediately she was straight. The inveterateness of the Disease, and the instantaneousness of the Ear, without the use of any means, made the Miracle evident. The Woman for it gave thanks to God, for that is meant by glorified God, she spake some things to the honour, and Glory of God who had healed her.
